$$

This column indicates the typical price range of this hotel. We use the following codes: E=Economy (under $50), M=Midrange ($50 to $100), U=Upscale ($100 to $150), L=Luxury (over $150). Please note that room rates fluctuate (seasonal popularity, special events in the area, etc.).

Miles

The approximate distance in miles from the exit to the hotel. These are calculations using GPS data. Distances along city streets will be somewhat different but this should give you a good idea of the distances to Discount Hotels near the cited Interstate exit.

Fit

Discount Hotels near I-65 & I-85 in Montgomery offering  'fitness' or exercise facilities are indicated with an F in this column. If the hotel also has a spa, it is so indicated by an S in this column. Most hotels define a 'spa' as a large hot tub with built in water jets. In a few cases, fitness facilities and spas may be off-premises (entry by pass issued by the hotel) in which case dressing rooms are also present for your convenience.

Kit

Discount Hotels near I-65 & I-85 in Montgomery offering a full kitchen or 'kitchenette' are indicated with an 'K' in this column. An 'M' in this column indicates microwave available. If the room also has a refrigerator, it is so indicated by an 'R' in this column. Many hotels have some rooms furnished with microwaves and small refrigerators but you have to request them. We list them only if there is not an additional charge (or so they have informed us).

I'net

Discount Hotels near I-65 & I-85 in Montgomery offering Internet access are indicated (with an M for dial-up and W for wideband) in the I'net column. Please note that 'wideband' facilities vary. In addition to a network port (usually installed in the docking station), we suggest you bring along cables and your Windows distribution CD (in case you are required to load a special network driver). For 'dial up dataports', you would only need a modem and an RJ-11 patch cord (which you should always have with you, anyway).

  Looks can be very deceiving. When entering Montgomery by car you'll encounter Montgomery's beltway; it isn't an 'Interstate' beltway - it is a locally grown gem which makes getting around so very convenient.  In fact it doesn't have an assigned highway designation but many. Beside the variety of route numbers, it is named (logically) Northern Boulevard, East Boulevard, etc. There is a message here. This community is even more varied than the highway designations hint.

  Montgomery is a major agriculture center, hosts some major industrial complexes and a very important Air force Base. It hosts an internationally known Shakespeare Festival, is the site of some exquisite gardens, a restoration of a 19th century Alabama town complete with actors portraying community life of the period, a space-age planetarium and a well equipped and maintained zoo. And there's lots of history to be viewed around town including a special 'falling water' monument to the civil rights movement.
